This is my absolute favourite story

For me this is my favourite and most effective story. Thanks for a smooth narration that slows and softens over time. Don’t dwell on the calculations and measurements at the start. They simply help us to understand the scale of the characters. I have listened to this hundreds of times over the years.
Still have not heard the entire story. Imagine vaulting from planet to planet….

interesting but not recommended for sleep

narrator has a great voice however this is definitely not conducive to sleep - mentioning all these different measurements causes brain to try & calculate rather than switch off?
